2012 has a bunch of movies I'm itching to see...and these are just the SF/Fantasy ones
Some information ripped from
io9.comThe RavenJohn Cusack stars as fantasy/horror writer Edgar Allen Poe, as he investigates a series of crimes based on his stories.
The Hunger Games (based on the books)

The AvengersThe culmination of all those Marvel superhero films, this one sees a crew of movie stars facing off against Loki, and his friends.
BattleshipThe board game you haven't played in years becomes a Transformers-esque action movie about aliens who come down and trap naval vessels in a magic ocean bubble, where they have to fight monsters.
Men in Black IIIThe sequel nobody asked for. Agent J (Will Smith) has to travel back to the 1960s and meet a young Agent K.
Abraham Lincoln, Vampire HunterOne of America's greatest presidents is revealed as a slayer of our greatest monsters, in this adaptation of Seth Grahame-Smith's book.

The Dark Knight RisesThe conclusion of Chris Nolan's epic Batman trilogy. Bane demolishes football fields, Catwoman spouts Occupy Wall Street rhetoric, and Bruce Wayne gets pretty messed up.
While we're on the subject of comic-book heroes...
Amazing Spider-ManIn a year full of big event movies, this could be a surprising standout — or, it could just be a weak movie with a great trailer.
The Hobbit: An Unexpected JourneyPeter Jackson returns to Middle Earth, in the first half of an adaptation of Tolkien's classic quest novel.
Outlook: The first trailer was the stuff of dreams. And Martin Freeman looks perfect as Bilbo Baggins.
World War ZBrad Pitt stars in an adaptation of Max Brooks' novel, playing a United Nations employee who races around the world trying to stop a zombie pandemic.
Iron SkyThe thrilling "Nazis on the Moon" film that we've been drooling over. Coming out April 4 in Finland, and hopefully sometime later in the U.S. and god knows when in the UK.
To paraphrase STJ...Muthaf*cking Space Nazis On The Moon!
LooperThis time-travel movie, directed by Brick's Rian Johnson, features Joseph Gordon-Levitt as a hitman who has to deal with his own future self (Bruce Willis).
Total RecallUnderworld's Len Wiseman directs a remake of the Paul Verhoeven film, in which we never go to Mars. Instead, the nations of Euromerica and New Shanghai battle, and Colin Farrell is caught in the middle.
DreddMega City One's greatest lawman finally gets a serious film, with Karl Urban as a Dredd who never takes his helmet off. Sarah Connor and Cersei Lannister, aka Lena Headey, is the villain.
That'll hold you....and yes, I know they're mostly popcorn movies
